Shallow Waters

(Verse 1) My heads under water but I ain't breathin fine Submerged & intertwined within a man's panicked mind Trying to make it in a game thats being redefined And redesigned by the underground so that we can shine Hell I’m just trying to get in and out with a piece of mind Peace in mind history as rap becomes a piece of mine I confided inside the people that I recognized as family You saved me when it came to me you improvised And you sympathized when I felt I was poisoned After popping the pills that me and my Dr. had chosen Night after night you woke up whats all the commotion Just to find me panicked in the kitchen with ibuprofen A mind set where pain relievers stopped all the corrosion Of my brain that was overflowing with these emotions But now I’m back and I've chosen to take back what was stolen And reassemble the pieces of me that once was broken A disorder that tore me apart mentally How am I a friend if you can’t even come vent to me I promise I was listening there was no convincing me That I wasn’t history fuck look at what it did to me And when I thought there was no fixing me Or fixing the issues you loved me unconditionally And I can’t thank you enough for standing by my side To my family and my brothers man I apologize (HOOK) X2 Oh, Ohhhh, Treading in these Shallow Waters (Verse 2) And I'm not bitching just listen this isn’t for attention My intentions are good but my musics been missing And now it's my mission to break away from these submissions And gain the recognition that I deserve as a musician And while I was stuck in this mental prison, with my convictions I swear the bars were blocking my vision, but now these bars are carving my vision And I won’t stop until all you bitches are starving to listen Cuz I’m starving to fucking make it, I want it to happen now I'm tired of fucking waiting, I’m tired of being patient I'm sick of being a patient, your sick of me being jaded I’m trying to be the greatest, to ever step foot inside the game I made it back from death row and I may never be the same But once It's me surrounded by the fame you people will see what I had to overcome to be proud of what I became (HOOK) X2 Oh, Ohhhh, Treading in these Shallow Waters (Verse 3) And now that I've made it I'm never looking back again I promise and I swear to you my life is about rap again So as I bottle and mix up all of these chemicals, anxiety, consonants, vowels, and syllables I reinvent myself as a brand new individual, so everything I ever do or say stays unpredictable I’ll take this pain and confusion and use it with music to fuel it And set fire to this whole fucking room of acoustics Because I’m spittin the realist shit that I’ve ever written Brand new me opening day somebody cut the ribbon The shit I did to myself was so unforgiven When I looked in the mirror all I saw was a super Villian But a hero emerges steps on to the surface I'm nervous but I know in the end that it will be worth it This is my chance and honestly I love the news I will give up everything I’ve got becuz I’ve got nothing to lose
